CAST

Christy Canyon, Jen Teal, Asia Carrera, Shelby Stevens, Christa Rain, Dallas, Tony Tedeschi, TT Boy, Ian Daniels, Michael J. Cox, Steven St. Croix

This is a hard film to synopsize. It's one part backstage comedy, one part spoof of "The Real World", one part satire on real life.

Basically, the story follows the production of Christy Canyon's comeback film.

Michael J. Cox/Christa Rain

A throwaway blowjob scene, used to demonstrate that we're on a porn set. Mike dumps a small invisible load on her chin.

Shelby Stevens/Ian Daniels

Christy watches as PT shoots a scene with Shelby and her boyfriend, ian. The scene turns Christy on so she masturbates. Her part of the scene is much hotter than Shelby's.

I think this shows a basic difference of pornstars from the early 80s to the early 90s. Christy knows she can't get by on moans and tits alone. Shelby doesn't seem to grasp that... at least not with this scene.

Shelby does get a missionary anal and a lame facial.

TT Boy/Dallas/Christy Canyon

Not a threeway, but a scene that proves a few different things: the mind is the sexiest organ and when pushed TT Boy is not repulsive.

Christy is not coming out of her dressing room. TT wants her to so they can start shooting the movie. TT and Christy talk their way through a sex scene through her door. Dallas blows TT and then gets fucked by him as the scene goes on.

TT and Christy give great performances here, which are marred by the looping of lines. I watched this scene with my best man and kept saying to him "Didn't they just say that?"

Throughout the scene Christy goes from drawing glasses and moustaches on her "competitions" pictures (ha- sterical!) to hotly masturbating with a silver dildo.

When TT Boy cums on Dallas; tits, he is so spent by the eroticism of the scene (or is it that the dark side took over and killed the goodness that came out of this scene?) that he can't perform...

Christy Canyon/Jen Teal

Jen is an up and coming star who is about to shoot her first girl/girl and is nervous. Christy shows her the light and they have a nice soft scene together.

Christy Canyon/Tony Tedeschi

A movie worth of tension is finally released as Tony and Christy fuck each other's brains out. A good scene with some hot mutual masturbation. He cums on her ass.

Christy Canyon/Steven St. Croix

Steve steps in since TT can't perform. The buildup to the sex is quite funny. The scene itself is lukewarm, but for dramatic purposes... we need to get the new Vivid girl in the scene...

Christy Canyon/Asia Carrera/Steven St. Croix

That's better. The threeway progresses as most threeways do. I don't remember how it ends and my notes are bereft of any clues.

I LOVED THIS MOVIE. I was jonesing for Christy something fierce and watched Pts Sex 2 some time ago to try and satisfy the craving because I couldn't get a hold of this movie. Good things come to those who wait.

The movie was funny as hell. Since everything took place in the porn studio, we were treated to the noise of air wrenches and phones ringing. For some reason this struck me as very funny.

The dialog was great and the nonsex roles were handled quite ably by PT (playing a satirical version of himself) and (name?) the guy who played the writer.

Best line: when looking for an actor to take St. Croix's spot, tedeschi looks at PT and says "Hey, you used to act..." and PT looks at him and says "Yeah, but my wife would have my balls for a cat toy" at which point a "meow" rips across the soundtrack. Very funny.

The music was great by porn standards, mostly made up of big band numbers, tho we did have to suffer through a typical inane guitar rock piece. The big band theme was a cross between "Chattanooga Choo Choo" and"Take the A Train" so that everytime it came up we titled it "Take the X Train..."

Am I really gushing about a PT movie? Sure am. Hats off to PT and the writer and Christy and everyone else involved. Only downside was that some of the sex was only lukewarm (the Shelby scene, the Christa Rain scene) but the scenes with Christy were electric and most of all... fun.

I would be surprised if the scene with TT and Christy doesn't pick up some major awards next year.

This one is a keeper.

There was more to this movie than just sex. I thought the Christy scenes were out of sight. The "lukewarm" scene between Christy and Steven St. Croix was lukewarm because dramatically, St. Croix had to blow the scene, in order for it to be saved by Asia Carrera...

The Christy scenes were very good, IMHO. Her shag with Tony Tedeschi was pretty hot and passionate. Her scene with TT Boy (which was nothing more than a mind fuck as they were not together) was far hotter than any sex in the movie, and far overshadowed the physicality of TT's encounter with Dallas.

The TT scene was flat out erotic, which is amazing to me because I never thought TT had it in him to be anything other than a pump machine.

And in the end, as with all reviewers, your milage may vary. Perhaps you're a big ass-to-mouth man. I am not, and my rating will not correspond to your tastes.

And one other quick thing that stuck in my craw... Tony Tedeschi is referred to as "Max" through the whole movie. Fine, no sweat. The very end credits though, reveal his charcater's name to be "Max Hardcore." Which I thought sucked, because

1. I HATE Max "Hardcore" Steiner; and
2. in a satire like this, to use a real guy's name (and a real guy so unlike the character) and just doesn't seem right to me... to the point where I've been thinking is there any of Steiner in this character? And while I trust the answer is no (mostly because Christy was not anally dilated during their scene..) it still stuck out enough in my mind to make me wince.

Or maybe I'm taking this all too seriously....

On the Imperial scale: 3.65
